Hello Everybody,

Before starting with my questions let me please introduce myself. My name is 
Franz Bissinger. I'm running a small localization company in Germany, Munich 
area. I'm familiar with all kinds of technical things related to the IT, but my 
major responsibility is to run my company and to do my daily localization work 
rather than to play with Linux and tools such as Moses. On the other side as it 
is usual in small companies I'm the guy dealing with all questions around 
hardware and software.

At the moment I'm trying to make my fist experiences with MT and especially 
with Moses. For doing so I configured an Ubuntu 12.04 server (8 Cores, 10 GB 
RAM), installed VirtualBox, downloaded the moses vm "debian 64-bit.ova" and 
imported it successfully to my server from where I run it in headless mode. I'm 
able to access the VM via a Remote Desktop Connection from my Windows 7 machine 
as well through ssh as via PUTTY. That's the background.

Today I tried for the first time to run the small sample found under 
"Phrase-based Tutorial" here http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.Tutorial. 
Unfortunately, so far all my attempts to run moses with the sample 'das ist ein 
kleines haus' fails. This is my command line:

 

echo 'das ist ein kleines haus' | /opt/moses/bin/moses -f 
phrase-model/moses.ini > ../out

 

And this is what I'm getting out:

Defined parameters (per moses.ini or switch):
        config: phrase-model/moses.ini
        feature: KENLM name=LM factor=0 order=3 num-features=1 
path=lm/europarl.srilm.gz Distortion WordPenalty UnknownWordPenalty 
PhraseDictionaryMemory input-factor=0 output-factor=0 
path=phrase-model/phrase-table num-features=1 table-limit=10
        input-factors: 0
        mapping: T 0
        n-best-list: nbest.txt 100
        weight: WordPenalty0= 0 LM= 1 Distortion0= 1 PhraseDictionaryMemory0= 1
ERROR:Unknown parameter feature
ERROR:Unknown parameter weight
ERROR:No phrase translation table (ttable-file)

 

I do not really have an idea, what's wrong, Maybe the sample uses an version 1 
moses.ini file. If that is true what would be the right command line if I'd use 
one of the europarl models (de-en) I downloaded from 
http://www.statmt.org/moses/RELEASE-2.1/models/  instead of the sample model?



I'm sorry to bother you with this kind of newbie questions, but unfortunately 
I'm not able to find any other helpful information.

 

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

 

Best

Franz
